Hood River Police Plan Heightened DUII Enforcement

The Hood River Police Department announced on Wednesday that they would be participating in a high visibility campaign allowing more officers to target impaired drivers.

The program, one of many focused on cutting down drunk and impaired driving during the holiday season, is in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Law enforcement agencies around Oregon and around the county will participate in his enforcement effort.

The Hood River Police Department asks that people please drive responsibly and remember that you can be charged with a DUII if you are under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances, inhalants or prescription medications.
